Joined the matrix. Not trans, but I’ll support all of you and spread the good word.
edit: they kicked me after I said I wasn’t trans, even though I support them. Oh well.
Please don’t take it personally as there are other groups who do welcome allies, the community is a bit worried at the moment, I’m appreciative of your support!
There are already states with laws to tattle tale on suspected trans individuals. Now the people behind that will have control of supreme court, senate, and likely house majorities along with the presidency to carry out their bigotry. Privacy is an always important thing, especially if 51% of the population of your country just put a giant target on your back.
Of course, you don’t seem to have ever interacted with this instance so coming here to dismiss people’s concerns is not a great look.
These are all large trans spaces, and Hexbear has a couple of impressive mutual aid groups thats helped many trans people.
Install Linux on your computer, install GraphineOS on your google pixel phone or lineageos on any other android phone, get a VPN (Mullvad is the best choice), always encrypt your communications, always encrypt your data (some distros support full disk encryption), find people you can trust, and most importantly be careful.
i recommend Privacy Lock to force entering credentials to unlock the phone if you drop it or shake it, and don’t use fingerprint so you can’t be physically forced to unlock it
PGP!!!
